    being new and stupid i used ERRORSMART the scan i found out later was a scare tactic showing none existing threats. after paying what i was told was a one off payment they cut me off after a few months. When i scanned with a reputable company i found my pc to be very infected. I would urge others to keep well clear,it’s a total scam.
